I was just wondering about other use cases of GameCredits. Not like in the usual manner when money goes from players to game developers for some extra in-game features. But instead players could compete for GameCredits against other players? Like for example there could be paid matches and free matches for a game. In a paid match people would have to buy-in to compete against each other and the prize pool would then be awarded for winners while developers would take a small fee. Think of a poker tournament. What do you think?

That sounds like a great idea

i think the real adoption hinderance as of now is, player required to first buy bitcoin and then to buy GAME rather than simply buying GAME with paypal or credit card. I know developers said they would be intergrating this but if adoption is your goal, IMO this should be first priority.
Although i like your idea of distributing GAME for free matches. Free GAME (dust amount) for players to play around would be good too.

We've said this many times, that is literally the next thing that is coming. Within a matter of days/weeks we will have the option to pay with paypal or credit car. We launched in Fragoria before we had these options to test a number of bugs and work on fixing the system. It was best to do this when only a rather small portion of users would be buying GameCredits with bitcoin from our wallet.

As for the question about prizes. GameCredits has the ability to monetize a number of games. In essence, we could (and are planning) gaming tournaments where individuals can play to win thousands of GAME. Any early tournament will again, be a test of our system polishing off any bugs. That way, when we offer our solution to developers, they can start doing paid tournaments of their own. Hope that makes sense!

I was asked by a friendly supporter of GAME to set up a p2pool node, which I did over at:

http://gamecredits.p2p.0x0a.nl:40004 and http://node2.gamecredits.p2p.0x0a.nl:40004 (both 0.5% fee)

They're chugging along healthily, and with the help of E-Pool's GAME p2pool node (http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8897/) operator, we're now forming a three-node strong decentralized pool! Please let me know (preferably by PM) if you have any suggestions / questions / etc.

These nodes are using version: 13 which is outdated & won't connect to the latest version. Please update your p2pool software to the latest version from:

https://github.com/amarian12/p2pool.gmc

Many thanks to amarian for sharing the repo.

That has been the real stumbling block stopping adoption for many alts in the past. A seamless exchange from simple mass access payment methods has a number of hurdles which are not easy to overcome.

I am proud to announce that GameCredits has officially launched in Fragoria, an MMORPG with millions of players. This achievement is nothing short of fantastic. Users in Fragoria can now use GameCredits to pay for in game items/currencies.

This is the beta test of our new payment gateway, so please expect some temporary limitations, unlike what we will have in weeks and months from now (meaning will we update and perfect it). As we polish off the gateway, we will plan for our next integration in Get the Gun a third person shooter. Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions regarding this launch and anything else you are concerned/interested with.

Again, there may be a number of minor bugs with this version! The dev team has been working around the clock to make this possible, and will continue at it until the gateway is perfected! Thank you to our community for the support along the way, the GAME is on!

https://wallet.gamecredits.com/landing

Above is our new web wallet (mind the difference in .come from the previous .org). Gamers will be sent here where they can currently purchase GameCredits with bitcoin, and shortly paypal, credit card, and other methods.

This is very cool news, I joined in the Thunderclap campaign and even told my Son about GameCredits. I think I need to try to pick a few up from POLO before the price goes up ..

And another important remark: the former, org wallet will remain fully functional and we will be merging accounts gradually.
You can transfer finds from .org to .com wallet yourself of course.

Question about supply...

How do you not know the supply totals? I must be missing something.

A community member was just a little uncertain if the total 59,000,000 coins were out on the market. I explained to them that as a company we naturally have some of our own in reserve, while the rest is out in various marketplaces and user pockets. That's all

Hi when you announce the winners. This friday or next. Could you plz be more specific due to the fact we only have 1 day to claim the price.

Its cryptoworld.

Haha I hope not my friend. That is not a reliable agrement of the GAME team of they go that path. If they choose to give a price Give Away, then you need to handle that in a professional manner. I hope you are wrong and they dont act like they regret to give the price away.

We've announced our winners and have reached out to them via social media and email. We will announce it again tomorrow. We take this very seriously and want to ensure our loyal community members get their prizes.
